Apple Asks Judge to Block Sales of 8 Samsung Devices

By Andrew Berg | August 28, 2012

In the wake of its victory against Samsung, Apple has petitioned a U.S. court to block the sale of eight Samsung devices.

In its filing with the court, Apple cited seven patent violations as its reason for requestion the eight Samsung devices be blocked from sale in the United States.

Specically, Apple targeted seven Galaxy devices – Galaxy Prevail, Galaxy S 4G, Galaxy S2 AT&T, Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, Galaxy S2 T-Mobile, Galaxy S2 Epic 4G, Galaxy S Showcase, Galaxy Prevail – as well as the Droid Charge.

Those eight devices are not insignificant. According to documents provided to the court by Samsung, they accounted for $1.3 billion in sales for Samsung during the first half of 2012.

Apple was recently awarded $1.05 billion in damages when a jury decided that Samsung had “wilfully” copied Apple’s iPad and iPhone. An injunction hearing is scheduled to take place on Sept. 20.

 Industry analyst Jeff Kagan, says traditionally cases like the one between Apple and Samsung would result in the winner charging the loser a fee while the devices remain on the market. In this case, however, Kagan says Apple might not be so forgiving.

“There is nothing traditional about this case. I think Apple has it’s eyes on Samsung’s jugular,” Kagan wrote in emailed comments.

Still, Kagan doesn’t think this is the end of Samsung in any way.

“Either way this is just a short term problem for Samsung,” he said. “I am sure they are busy, behind the scenes, developing their next replacement technology and will update their phones as soon as possible.

Since the jury’s decision was announced, Samsung stock has plummeted, while Nokia, RIM and Apple have all seen considerable gains.
